[The Jackson 5 - Mama Told Me Not Come lyrics]
Have some whiskey in your water
Have some sugar in your tea
What’s all these crazy questions
They’re asking me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights
‘cause I don’t want to see
Mama told me not to come
(mama mama told me not to come yeah)
Mama told me not to come
(mama, mama, told me)
She said, "that ain’t no way to have fun
Son"
Open up this window
Let some air into this room
I think I’m almost choking from
The smell of stale perfume
Well, that cigarette you’re smoking about to
Scare me half to death open up the window
Sucka’ so I can catch my breath
Mama told me not to come
(mama mama told me not to come)
Mama told me not to come
(mama mama told me not to)
She said, "that ain’t no way to have fun
Son"
Mama told me (mama yelling)
Mama told me (mama yelling)
(Mama you didn't listen to me)
(But mama, but mama, let me explain)
(Anything, anything but the whip)
The radio was blasting someone’s
Knocking at the door
I’m looking at my girlfriend she’s
Passed out on the floor
I seen so many things there
I ain’t never seen before
Please don’t tell me what it is
(I don’t want to see no more)
Mama told me not to come
(mama mama told me not to come)
Mama told me not to come
(mama mama told me not to come)
She said, "that ain’t no way to have fun
Son" got to leave this place
Oh, man, come on, stay (No man, we gotta go)
Yea, we gotta leave
(No, man i got the keys here
Alright? You can’t go nowhere)
Hey man, I gotta go, man
It’s past my bedtime
(what you doin’ there, kid?)
I’m opening the door (Come on man
I don’t want to miss the Flintstones)
Take your soda pop and go home, boy
(why don’t you stay … 40 seconds … Na
Na see that’s what I’m talking about)
Mama told me, mama told me, mama, mama
Mama not to come mama told me not to come
(See that’s what I’m talking
About i’m gonna stay)
Mama told me not to come
Have some sugar in your tea
What’s all these crazy questions
They’re asking me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights
‘cause I don’t want to see
Mama told me not to come
(mama mama told me not to come yeah)
Mama told me not to come
(mama, mama, told me)
She said, "that ain’t no way to have fun
Son"
